The older you get, the less you're willing to put up with. And the most important takeaway of all is that it's really OK, because this is your life to live. I've come to the conclusion that the older you get, the harder it is to make friends because you start to realize you’re done with drama and don’t have time for nonsense. That's the thing about some people: They might walk in and out of your life. Neither of us put in the work to fix what was broken.

I felt like I was putting in a lot more effort and giving a lot more of myself than I was getting back.Īs soon as I stopped giving each relationship my all, the friendships started to decline. But at first, I felt really horrible about the whole thing. I played a critical role in the deterioration of those friendships. I want to make it clear that I in no way entirely blame other people for my lack of friends.

All of those friendships I thought I couldn't live without fizzled out. In my mind, I thought they would be in my wedding party, we'd have kids around the same time, and we’d raise our kids as best friends.īut as time went on, I graduated from school and got a “real job.” I matured, grew up, and things changed. I felt like they knew my soul through and through they could see me they would never go anywhere. I confided important things in a couple of people I considered to be my best friends. If you find yourself in a similar situation, you may be wondering why the older you get, the more you hate everyone (or, rather, why more people get on your nerves). I'm super close with my family my siblings and two of my cousins are my best friends. True story: I don't really have friends anymore. You know how you're always talking about how you hate everyone? The thing is, the older you get, the more real this is.
